| Introduction | Kevin Stein is a strategic communications, media and marketing forensic scientist with a reputation for being highly opinionated about both traditional and digital media. In addition, he is a recovering program executive and producer whose work in network, cable and syndicated television and film required him to be placed in a witness protection program in Pasadena, California. He authored a history of rock and roll before it died for Rolling Stone/Dell, and has taught Clinical Psychology at Harvard Alumnae College, Art History at Cal Arts and History of Media at California State University, Long Beach. He has attempted penance for his white collar life through non-profit accomplishments including production of two films which helped to launch NASA’s Challenger Center For Space Science Education and co-founding The Jimi Hendrix Foundation, which he ran from 1994-96. |
